Lesli Linka Glatter, President of the Directors Guild of America and a top TV director-producer, gave a rousing speech on Saturday night at the DGA awards, as she recalled the recent L.A. fires, in which she, and so many others, lost their homes.
“Never have I been more pleased to be together with all of you our storytelling community,” Glatter said.
“I was one of the thousands who lost their home during the wildfires,” Glatter continued.
Directors must do everything they can to bring production back to L.A., where it is badly needed.
“I urge you to insist that your projects be shot where they are set,” Glatter said.
